Amy, Sandy and Hannah."Why are the girls so much better than the boys!?" I complain half-joking to my classes - but it's true - in terms of penmanship, understanding, focus, and often wit. Amy in the middle - is BRILLIANT

Sweet HannahMust be adored by her parents. - Not spoiled, very innocent, giggles when she's not focused on perfecting her grammar.

Night on the TownIn the taxi on our way to Woo-Bang Tower - less beautiful and unearthly than our Pearl TV tower in Shanghai. Food was unimpressive, but it was a great change from on-surface restaurants:)

My TylersThese two are my co-workers. They are the only two Tylers in MoonKkang and I have to put up with both of them - to others I call them Tall Tyler and Spiky Hair Tyler, but in person it's "hey you" with
